Many told NBC5 News the turnout was the biggest they’d ever seen and it showed change is coming to the Queen City.

"I feel like there's a strong sense of disagreement with what's happening with this particular administration,” said City Councilor Max Tracy, P-Ward 2.

Voters nominated candidates for City Council, and endorsed Carina Driscoll (I) for mayor.

She is no stranger to politics, having served on the Burlington City Council and school board, as well as in the Vermont legislature.

"When I am elected mayor, I intend to provide the leadership to bring us back together, to a place of respectful dialogue to address our city's challenges and to charter our own future,” Driscoll said at the caucus.

She is the stepdaughter of Senator and former Burlington mayor Bernie Sanders.
